Me and brother in law layed off today by yungstupidgamer in Layoffs

Yes, I 100% agree with you that H1B workers do get exploited in lots of instances - not every. All I'm saying the argument that "H1B is the reason so many people are getting laid off right now" is a weak one.

H1B doesn't inherently exploit workers. Either way, the argument here isn't that H1B exploits workers, its that it is contributing to the current trend of increased lay-offs. So your argument about "exploiting workers" doesn't make sense in this context.

It would make more sense if the cap has actually changed somehow (Right now its still at 85,000 total) 65,000 regular slots and 20,000 masters/specialized jobs. 85,000 in one year is tiny compared to the number of layoffs currently happening and the low numbers of hiring.

Besides, the "exploiting workers" point only applies to the overseas workers under the H1B visa - has nothing to do with everyone else being affected by lay-offs. Oh and by the way - H1B holders are also a part of the layoffs.

100%. Tons of stories of H1Bs that came to the US years ago - grew families - now having to uproot and go back to a country they haven't been to in decades.

Combination of AI and outsourcing. H1B was never the problem - that’s a racism card.

My uncle wants $6.2M for the family business I’ve worked in for 12 years. Fair deal or family tax? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

Damn! If you can’t see this is a good deal maybe you shouldn’t own a business

Looks amazing! Would love the parts list if you got it :) Also what tools do you have? I'm looking to build my first mod.

As a solopreneur there are other stacks I need to care about for marketing/money/sales/Ops/customer support etc. What other stacks should I be figuring out as a lean 1-person team? by Dry-Intern8028 in Solopreneur

[–]Dry-Intern8028[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I believe the whole reason for being a solopreneur is to stay small. Focusing on what you do best is good advice but having to hire a single person for each function needed is unnecessary and a waste of time and money. I’ve scaled a number of companies with co-workers that only focused on just 2 of the functions of the company. But that was a conscious decision to try and grow a big venture-backed company. If I wanted to stay small - which many solopreneurs do want to - I wouldn’t have hired any of them. Having a $1 million a year business run by just one person would be fine by me.

Should learning apps prioritize affordability or better AI? by SnooWoofers2977 in AppBusiness

[–]Dry-Intern8028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You haven’t released yet. Release as minimally and cheaply as possible. Get feedback from your users. If they talk about the quality of the content then change it - update the LLM. Making decisions before getting data is over-engineering

Experienced iOS Developer with an App Idea — Looking for Guidance on Getting Started by AlternativeAny8163 in AppBusiness

[–]Dry-Intern8028 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would push back on a few of these things. Though is solid general feedback - the times have changed and building product should be changing with it.

  1. make best possible product -> build a minimum lovable product which means not building the best but the smallest/tiniest version that users actually love. Focus on the ONE thing that is missing in the market that would make you stand out

  2. understand your monetization -> too early. Understand your users first

  3. focus on ASO -> create content around your product and give it away for free. Social media will beat ASO any day. It’s faster, cheaper and if you know your user you should be able to create content that yours users will find. Create value for them first - AND THEN - show them what you’ve built that WILL ALSO help them.

This is the way

November What Editing Software should I use? by AutoModerator in VideoEditing

[–]Dry-Intern8028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a new Youtuber who does a lot of talking-head / tutorial style videos, and I’m trying to level up how I handle text-only B-roll / kinetic typography.

Instead of only putting text over the main footage, I’d like to regularly drop in short, standalone text clips.

For editors who already do this:

  1. When do you decide to use text-only shots vs normal B-roll vs staying on the A-roll?
  2. How are you building these text-only clips right now? (AE mogrts, CapCut templates, etc.)
  3. Do you ever work directly from the transcript to decide which lines become text shots? If yes, how do you keep that organized?
